Chapter 178 New Life
"Xiao Fei, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Mi, who decided to discuss these things with her brother after returning home, relaxed completely.
"Hey, I have a surprise for you." Xiao Fei said as she took out the yellow crystals in a glass bottle hidden behind her.
When Xiao Fei looked at the crystal through the sunlight, there was hardly any impurities. It was as clean and pure as a yellow diamond that would be worth tens of millions in the civilized world.
Even Jiang Mi couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Top-grade crystal?! Where did you get it from, Xiao Fei?"
Xiao Fei smiled sheepishly, "When you were attacking that giant mutant, I saw it appear in the air after being shot in the head. At that time, seeing that everyone was busy, I collected it with spider silk."
"I love you so much, Xiaofei! Crystals of this purity are rare. You really helped me a lot!"
With this crystal, while waiting for Xing Shaoan and others to figure out how to use the crystal to advance their superpowers, her brother's bottleneck will definitely be easily solved.
Xiao Fei felt much happier when she saw that Jiang Mi's face was no longer filled with worry.
The journey was smooth and there were no more attacks from mutants.
Because of the large number of people, Jiang Mi did not stop to rest on the way. After all, if he stopped at a random place, he would most likely be attacked by mutants, or be discovered by other teams, which would only cause unnecessary trouble.
Before setting off, each person was given a bottle of water and a simple compressed biscuit as supplies, one of which was intended to ensure they would not die of hunger or thirst on the road, and the rest could be solved at the Dawn Base.
Before the end of the world, no one would consider a bottle of water and a pack of compressed biscuits as good things.
But after experiencing the apocalypse, when they were starving and even their lives were not guaranteed, each person had a bottle of uncontaminated water. The entire team was nearly 300 people, which was not a small number. However, Jiang Mi didn't even blink an eye and didn't take it seriously at all.
Many people have also realized that this Dawn Base does have some strength, and its strength should not be underestimated.
After safely arriving at the tourism development zone in City D—now it should be called the Shuguang Base—the group came to the hotel lobby in a mighty procession.
Thanks to the hard work of the researchers when the hotel was first moved in, the hotel lobby is now exactly the same as it was before the end of the world. Even the Spring Festival couplets at the door make everyone feel more festive.
It was as if all this at the end of the world was just a long dream that everyone had.
The noisy noise in the lobby attracted Jiang's mother's attention. She looked down from the second floor and found her daughter back. She shouted excitedly, "Xiao Mi! You're back!"
Seeing Jiang's mother's excitement, Jiang Mi couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. Is it really true that his mother can no longer pick up her previous image of a calm and noble lady?
Mother Jiang took two steps at a time and came to Jiang Mi. Miao Xi looked at her young face and mistakenly thought that she was Jiang Mi's sister. She nodded politely and said hello: "Hello, sister."
Jiang's mother was so happy to hear the word "sister" that she covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Oh, you are really good at talking. I am Xiao Mi's mother, not her sister."
Looking at Jiang's mother's playful look, Jiang Mi couldn't help laughing and introduced his mother to Miao Xi and others.
"Mom, where are my dad and my brother?"
"Your father spends every day with Deng Lao in the plantation. He is so hard to find. Even if I want to see him, I have to wait in line behind those young seedlings."
When Jiang's mother mentioned Jiang's father, a hint of complaint appeared on her face. Ever since she came to the Shuguang Base and saw Old Deng's plantation, Jiang's father's farming gene was completely awakened. He instantly found his passion and followed Old Deng to the plantation every day.
"Your brother has taken the base's superpower team to clean up the mutants around. I don't know what's going on, but the number of mutants seems to have increased recently. It feels like the time they spend out is gradually increasing."
Jiang Mu's feeling was not wrong. As the temperature rose, the mutants became more active. Calculating the time, it would not be long before the mutants exploded as in the previous life.
Now that the base has more personnel, we really need to think about how to deal with the outbreak of mutants.
After knowing the family's situation, Jiang Mi invited everyone to check in on the fourth floor of the hotel. Two people shared a room, and they could choose their roommates themselves. Water and electricity were all available. The hotel rooms were well planned and there was nothing special about them. The rooms just needed to be cleaned before they could be occupied.
After assigning the rooms, Jiang Mi asked everyone to share some fast food for dinner.
"We don't have any communication equipment right now, so we couldn't inform the people at Dawn Base that we were coming back today. We didn't prepare dinner for so many people, so we'll just have to make do with what we have. We'll have a good lunch tomorrow when everyone has packed up."
When Jiang Mi was distributing the fast food, she explained that for her, these fast food products could only satisfy her hunger and were not considered delicious.
But for many people who can't even afford to eat after the end of the world, this is already the best delicacy.
When they heard that tomorrow's food would be better than today's, several people with shallow eye sockets shed tears.
In the end times, many people are used to living without enough food every day, and even their lives are not guaranteed. The thought of having food to eat every day and having a safe place to live in the future is what they long for.
"I used to think it was difficult to survive in the end of the world, but I never thought I could live my life again." A tall man was also affected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but sigh, "Ms. Jiang, thank you for giving us a shelter. If you need me, Zhou Di, in the future, I will die for you!"
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "I don't need you to go through fire and water, as long as you are alive and well. Only when people are alive can everything be changed, and only then can we wait until the end of the world and usher in the dawn."
Jiang Mi’s words gave everyone great encouragement, as if they could see the dawn of hope after waking up from a sleep.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest.
At the same time, Jiang Xun also returned to the base, smelling of mutant blood. The brother and sister who had not seen each other for a long time did not hug each other as expected. When Jiang Mi smelled the stench, he took three steps back and kept a safe distance from his brother.
"Hurry, hurry, stay away from me, you guys stink too much," Jiang Mi pinched his nose and waved his hands. He didn't know how many mutants they had killed today. The stench was overwhelming and there was no way to chat. "You guys should go wash up quickly. I'm going to go back to sleep first. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything."
After saying this, he left without waiting for Jiang Xun and others to react, and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun could only shake her head helplessly. Her sister had been spoiled since she was a child. Even though the apocalypse had appeared for almost a year, she still couldn't get used to the stench of the mutants.
